I have achieved new shoes and met my fundraising goal. On Saturday, I met the Key West Team in Training team. It is quite an assortment of people training for Disney, ING marathon in Miami and a few people who are doing a marathon in Ireland next month.
People in Key West love to complain. “Too many tourists”, “Not enough tourists to make a living”, “Too many cruise ships”. I could go on and on. Last weekend marked the annual Poker Run, during which about 10,000 bikers come into town. Some bikers remove their mufflers, so their motorcycles […]
I have been telling you about some summer specials going on here for a while now, but this one takes the cake. Grand Cafe is offering locals (sorry, visitors, we have to have a few perks for suffering through the summer heat.) 50% off during the month of September. Everything. […]

This evening marks the start of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year. This week we celebrate (read: eat a lot) Next week we get to fast and repent for our sins. In honor of Rosh Hashana, you will not hear from me this Friday. Stay tuned next week for a […]
Last weekend, we went to the wedding of Florida Keys Guy’s first cousin, in Lancaster, PA (which I am apparently still mispronouncing). The wedding was lovely and the bride and groom were both truly happy. Plus, the weather was perfect. I got married on a rainy, miserable Florida day (at […]
